    My absence (again)

    So yeah, I’ve been gone for a while again. Well, in the summer time my family often will travel. We often go to road trips and stuff like that. Also, on 14 June I had my 14th birthday. I have also been very busy with practicing cubing. Sorry guys!

    I lost 75 pounds over the course of a year and I’m happy about it

    Ok so I’m 4’7”. At such a small height I can look fat by literally weighing like 120 pounds which is not that much. We don’t have too much money in my family so we just spend it on stuff that we need rather than want. That’s why I still have the same budget cubes from 3-5 years ago. We used...

    Just how fast can you get with the beginners method? I did an experiment to see.

    I use Roux and I am sub 15. I average 12 seconds per solve and my turning speed is about 5 tps. I decided to put this to the test. How fast can I get with beginners method? With the beginner’s method my solves are about 100 moves as opposed to about 60 moves that I average on Roux...

    The jokes people made about you?

    I have a lot of health issues so I have lots of jokes about them I have a lazy eye (I had surgery on it though) and it’s always pointed up so people would say to me “Areli, can you confirm that this is a UFO in the sky?” “Areli make sure to keep an eye out for us!” Also when I was 7 I had to...

    How did cubing change your life?

    Here’s my story. I’d like to hear yours too! When I was 1, I was diagnosed with autism. It’s not very well known in Mexico where I live, maybe 1 in 500. In the US it’s 1 in 60 I think. I wasn’t reaching normal milestones for my age. I was always behind my peers in everything I did. I was...

    How to memorize algorithms (if you suck at it)

    @EmmaTheCapicorn I recommend u view this when u get home 👀 Some algorithms are long and intimidating. That’s ok! Nothing wrong with that. However it can make memorization a LOT harder. Some people like myself and my friend @EmmaTheCapicorn have conditions that make it harder to memorize them...

    Roux for noobs! By Areli Gómez

    I personally use Roux. With 42 CMLL algs it may be difficult to memorize all of them when you just switched over so here’s my tip! First off start by just using Ortega OLL+PLL (2x2) for the corners then do LSE and centers. Soon start making a transition into the full CMLL. You’ll eventually...

    Here’s my beginner tips to optimize the beginners method on 3x3! From a 6 years of experience cuber

    1. Look ahead. During inspection plan out the cross by looking around your puzzle. 2. Become color neutral. Which cross looks easiest to get done? Do that one instead. Soon you’ll get better at this it takes time. 3. Learn 4LLL. This is CFOP last layer but instead of 57 OLL and 21 PLL you just...
